Sky Bistro Named Best Landmark Restaurant in North America

Calgarians, you've got a new bragging point! Sky Bistro, perched atop Sulphur Mountain in Banff, has just been crowned the best landmark restaurant in North America by the 2026 World Culinary Awards. This isn't just a win for the restaurant; it’s a win for all of us who get to enjoy the views from the top of the world.

The World Culinary Awards define a landmark restaurant as one that is itself a landmark or operates within one. Sky Bistro fits the bill perfectly with its stunning mountaintop location, offering diners a meal with unparalleled views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. The restaurant is part of the Banff Gondola experience, making it a popular stop for those heading up Sulphur Mountain. Menu items feature Canadian-inspired dishes using locally sourced ingredients, giving diners a taste of the best that Alberta has to offer.

This is the first time since 2023 that a Canadian restaurant has won this award. Sky Bistro previously took home the title of best rooftop restaurant in North America in 2022. With these accolades, it’s clear that Sky Bistro is setting a new standard for dining experiences that combine culinary excellence with breathtaking views.
